[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I just looked up this book The Gatekeepers. Published in 2003 based on spending 1999-2000 with the admissions people. You know that's an 18 year old experience now - nearly 2 decades out of date, right? Have there been any updates or more recent insights? Things have changed a GREAT deal since then.[/quote] Can you be specific? Other than students applying to more colleges each (thanks primarily due to common app) and higher standardized test scores (thanks to test prep becoming the norm) I don't think much has changed at all.[/quote] The year the book was written, Wesleyan had 6,955 applicants and accepted 27% of them. Last year, Wesleyan had 12,453 applicants and accepted 16% of them. The landscape is entirely different. [/quote]
